THIS YEAR, ELECTION DAY IS NOVEMBER 7, 2017.

This upcoming election is perhaps one of the most important elections that our City has faced in over 100 years because of the important financial, development and zoning decisions that the Board of Aldermen will have to make. My past service on the Board of Aldermen demonstrates my philosophy and abilities to address these important issues in a way that will protect all of the positive values that we see in Somerville. If the wrong decisions are made, then the Somerville that we now know could forever vanish.

I hope this website will provide you with information about my service as an alderman at large as you consider the candidates. I want to thank you for visiting my web site and I thank the residents of Somerville for having given me an opportunity to serve as an alderman at large. This “hands on” experience at the level of government closest to the people has taught me a great deal about being an effective representative. During these years, I have offered creative and progressive solutions to the pressing problems facing our community. Feel free to to explore my background and stance on the important issues facing our community in this site.

The Somerville Times in its November 1, 2017 edition had this to say,

Some say Bill is the brains behind the Board of Aldermen. He’s been elected and re-elected President of the Board for several years now by the rest of the Board. Alderman At-Large Bill White works very hard and his research proves it. He is one of the best when budget time comes around. He reads and researches all the various departments to see if there is any waste or needlessly allocated money to that department. He is a good alderman. He is responsive to residents, both new and old. He knows the issues, whether it’s the present zoning to the new zoning, or Assembly Square or what’s happening at the Powderhouse School. He’s made his mark on the Board of Aldermen. Some might say he is one who is not afraid to ask tough questions of the administration.
